My co-worker today asked what I was doing for July 4th. I said I’m doing nothing, as the reality show that is our current administration has me feeling very unpatriotic. I was talking with my husband later and said this may be our last July 4th as we know it. I hope like hell I’m wrong.

There’s usually a big show on the 4th that most years I sing in. This year I realized that I just don’t have the heart to get up in front of a big crowd and TV cameras and sing about how great our country is. I just can’t. A couple of days ago our local delegate put flags in everybody’s front yard. I took ours down. I’m in no mood for celebration.
It makes me really sad.
I totally get you … I feel the same way! I don’t feel like there’s anything to celebrate at this time! Peace …
Thanks so very much for sharing this post … It makes me feel a bit better that I’m not the only one that feels this way! Peace … ❤
You are so welcome. At least the sun is shining and it’s warm here. Hopefully I’ll get out of my pajamas today.
Watching the Handmaids Tale at the moment, I hope your wrong too, happy Independence Day cousins. Great post 😀
Thanks so much. I haven’t seen that show, but have heard it’s very good.
Somehow we have to stay strong in the face of despair. I’m not doing a very good job of that.
I’m trying too, but it’s just so much bullshit.
What y’all are saying is exactly what they want which is to create so much confusion and despair that we get frustrated and give up. Remember that tRump is not the main character in this charade. He is merely the dupe of the sinister alt right. We have 2018 and 2020 elections coming up. We are still a long way from totalitarianism. Please celebrate today knowing that we are in the majority and tolerance, compassion, and equanimity will prevail. My county voted 68% Trump, my neighbors verbally abused me for my Hillary signs, but those flags are out in my yard today to let them all know that I will not shut up. Now get out there and be proud.
Good for you! My husband keeps saying things will get better, he also said Trump would never get elected. I hope our young people decide to get more involved in politics. I want a habitable planet for future generations.
Certainly I understand how you feel but we cannot let this sad (I wanted to say pathetic!) person steal our America! Usually, we don’t do much on the 4th but this year we are going to have dinner on the beach and watch fireworks set off from the USS Lexington, a retired aircraft carrier that is now a museum. USA!!!!
Sounds like fun!
Patriotism… Isn’t that what you carry in your heart instead of what you explode onto everyone else and demand as collateral for living in a democracy?
Amen to that sista!
